Mineral water and natural gas

List of Mineral water and natural gas ( items)

Specific to the spa resort of Marienbad, these injections are an application of the famous CO2 ‘Marie’s gas‘ that bubbles naturally out from the ground. The application of this gas to the subcutis in the area of the large joints and spine produces many remarkable effects including pain relief, improvement in blood circulation to the area and an acceleration of healing.

This is a signature treatment, exclusively provided in the spa resort of Marienbad in the historical Mineral cabin, using the natural local mineral water with a high content of CO2, mineral salts and humic acids. The mineral water seeps out from the ground and before the treatment is heated by the steam to the temperature of 34-36 °C. Natural Carbon Dioxide from the Mineral water is absorbed by the skin, that increases the rate of blood circulation. The difference here is that herbal extracts or oils are added to the water. The herbal extracts used include: Nettle, which softens the skin and can help eczema conditions, Camomile, that is anti-inflammatory and speeds up the healing of wounds, Horsetail Plant, for backaches and aching joints and Tannin combined with Oak Bark to sooth skin irritations. In addition a series of the mineral baths improved heart and kidney activity as well as reduced stress and anxiety.

The Dead sea salt can also be combined with the mineral bath which not only have anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects but also help improve the flexibility and elasticity of the skin.

This traditional treatment procedure dates back to 1905. During the treatment the guest sits in the original bath which is filled with CO2 natural gas directly from Maria’s spring. The gas reaches up to the waist. At the same time the guest breathes oxygen through a tube which causes a revitalizing and relaxation effect. The treatment improves the blood circulation throughout the whole body, improves the saturation of haemoglobin with the oxygen, which helps to regenerate cells, thereby reducing aging (having an anti-aging effect).

This is a signature treatment, exclusively provided in the spa resort of Marienbad using the natural local mineral waters and natural CO2 gas that naturally seeps out from the ground. The bath takes place in a historical bath tub, inlaid with oak. The water temperature is 34°C and the peat is added directly into the water. Natural CO2 gas fizzes onto the skin, producing a relaxing, tickling sensation. The carbon dioxide is absorbed through the skin into the body, where it slows down the heart activity and reduces the blood pressure. The bath improves blood circulation, counteracts stress, decreases blood pressure, improves the function of the heart and at the same time lets the body absorb the beneficial minerals from the peat. After the treatment it is necessary to have a shower consisting of a mixture of warm water and mineral spring.

Mineral Bath for Couples This luxurious treatment is offered in a historical mineral cabin with two individual, separated bath tubes. The historical tiles are original from 1896.

Drinking medicinal mineral water is an important part of your spa stay. The rich mineral waters gently regulate the functioning of the stomach, bowels, kidneys and liver. A drinking treatment normally consists of drinking a prescribed amount of the mineral before meals, as drinking on an empty stomach increases the efficiency and effect of the mineral substances and their absorption into the body. Each particular fountain in our different spa resorts in Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia has its own unique benefits and advantages. Instructions on how to take full advantage of this natural resource can be found in the spa. In general, it is advised to drink between 1-2 decilitres before meals. Our Health Spa Resort of Marienbad was built around the healing effects of its medicinal drinking springs, world famous for its curative effects on kidney and urinary tract conditions. There are seven different mineral water springs in Marienbad, each with their own particular benefits and healing mineral components. Because of this, combined with the importance of embarking upon the correct drinking regime, your spa doctor will advise you on which spring can best benefit your health condition. In Marienbad, you will normally be prescribed to drink between 1-2 litres per day.

This is another signature treatment of the spa resort of Marienbad, where the gas that bubbles naturally out of the ground – ‘Maria’s gas’ – is used in the treatment. This gas is of volcanic origin and contains 99.7% CO2. In our other resorts, regular commercial CO2 gas (the same as in the food industry) is used. During the treatment, you lie comfortably and fully clothed on a bed, enclosed in a large plastic bag that is sealed just under the arms. The gas is then pumped into the bag, which slowly inflates, and is absorbed through the clothes and skin into the body, where it slows down heart activity and reduces blood pressure. The gas also improves blood circulation and kidney activity and has an anti-inflammatory effect. The gas is also known to stimulate the production of the sexual hormones, testosterone and estradiol, which is why it is successful for improving of sexual functions and relieving menopausal symptoms in women.

Kneipp treatments

List of Kneipp treatments ( items)

‘Scottish spray’ is a stimulating and extremely vigorous treatment. Whilst standing in a swimsuit or naked, a pressurised jet of water (3 atm) is applied from a distance of 3-4 metres. For the first 30 seconds, the temperature is set at 38-42°C, followed by a spray at 16-18°C for 5-10 seconds. This procedure is repeated several times, first around the area of the upper and lower extremities, then on the torso and belly, following the course of the large intestine, from the front and back. The treatment ends with a cold spray. This treatment improves the immune system, circulation and metabolism, and leaves one with a rejuvenated feeling.

Hydrotherapy

List of Hydrotherapy ( items)

Also known as colonic irrigation, this practice was reputedly used in Ancient Egypt, China and India. However, the method common in the West today has its origins in 19th century European Spas. The treatment is conducted lying down, whilst warm purified water is introduced into the colon via the rectum. Once this is completed, the therapist uses special massage techniques to stimulate the release of the water. The whole process takes between 30-45 minutes and has the effect of cleansing the bowels from built-up toxins, bacteria, parasites and other unwanted substances.

The individual bubble bath is similar to the individual thermal bubble bath (See Balneotherapy: Individual Thermal Bubble Bath). However, instead of using thermal water, ordinary water that has been heated to a temperature of between 32-34°C is used. Small ‘fizzy’ bubbles of air are then pumped into this. The treatment lasts between 10- 20 minutes, during which you lie relaxed as small air bubbles gently caress and coat the skin. The treatment is ideal for general relaxation, as there is a pleasant soothing feeling of general tickling caused by the bubbles. The treatment in some of our spa locations is followed by a full body 15-minute dry wrap (See Other: Dry Wrap).

The individual bubble bath with additives is similar to the individual thermal bubble bath (See Balneotherapy: Individual Thermal Bubble Bath), however, instead of using thermal water, ordinary water is used that has been heated to a temperature of between 32-34 °C. Into this is pumped small ‘fizzy’ bubbles of air. The difference here is that herbal extracts or oils are added to the water. The herbal extracts used include: Nettle, which softens the skin and can help eczema conditions, Camomile, that is anti-inflammatory and speeds up the healing of wounds, Horsetail Plant, for backaches and aching joints and Tannin combined with Oak Bark to smooth skin irritations. The treatment lasts from between 10 to 20 minutes during which you lie relaxing as small air bubbles relaxingly caress and coat the skin. The treatment is ideal for general relaxation as there is a pleasant soothing feeling of general tickling from the bubbles. The treatment in some of our spa locations is followed by a full body 15 minute dry wrap (See Other: Dry Wrap).

The individual bubble bath with peat extract is similar to the individual thermal bubble bath (See Balneotherapy: Individual Thermal Bubble Bath), however, instead of using thermal water, ordinary water is used that has been heated to a temperature of between 32-34 °C. Into this is pumped small ‘fizzy’ bubbles of air. The treatment lasts from between 15 to 20 minutes during which you lie relaxing as small air bubbles relaxingly caress and coat the skin. The difference here is that peat extracts are added to the water. Peat extracts help to relieve muscle overload combat the degenerative process of the musculoskeletal system, and are effective for back pain, joints, spine and muscles. They also have a positive effect on metabolic disorders, obesity and cellulitis. In addition they help detoxify the body, improve overall condition and stamina, reduce stress,the natural substances also have cosmetic effect. The treatment is ideal for general relaxation as there is a pleasant soothing feeling from the bubbles. The treatment in some of our spa locations is followed by a full body 15 minute dry wrap. (See Other: Dry Wrap).

The treatment is given in a bath at a temperature of 35-37°C. A powerful, pressurised (0.5 – 2.0 atm) jet of water is released through a hose underwater and directed manually by the therapist to the main muscle groups from a distance of between 10 and 15 cm and at an angle, in strokes. By varying the distance and angle, it is possible to change the intensity of the water jet pressure on the body. The aim of this deep massage is to release stiffness in the muscles and connective tissues and to partially release the joints. It is also probably one of the most effective spa treatments for relaxation available.

Physiotherapy

List of Physiotherapy ( items)

Our ‘back school’ helps many people to be able to move without pain and is a key part of reconvalescence. Nowadays some exercise theories are considered out-dated. According to the latest research there are no correct or incorrect movements, only movements according to the moment and body strength – comfortable, uncomfortable, convenient or inconvenient. This program included in the back school teaches exercises aimed at strengthening all kinds of muscles cruicial in supporting correct body posture. In particular the stomach, thigh and back muscles.

This is an apparatus which is used for vacuum-compressive therapy of upper or lower limbs. By changing high and low pressure on the limbs an improvement of the blood circulation and tissue nourishment is generated. This treatment helps the re-opening of blood-vessel connections and reduce swellings.

The main principal of reflexology is based on the fact that in the human body there are more than 70,000 nerve endings located in the foot. These nerve endings connect to internal and external organs throughout the body, through energy channels. This massage specifically targets the hands and feet, stimulating the nerve endings to produce a general healing effect. In particular, it has a positive ‘reflex’ effect on the blood circulatory and lymphatic systems, the immune system, and regulates the functioning of the endocrine glands. The massage also has relaxing and pain-alleviation effects particularly effective for back pain and headaches. It can also help with cases of anxiety, insomnia and digestive system disorders.

Performed by qualified masseurs, the medical massage, sometimes referred to as the ‘classical’ massage, uses a variety of techniques during treatment. The massage generally targets areas where secondary changes have occurred as a result of injury somewhere in the body. Its aim is to speed up the recovery process by improving circulation to the problematic area. As well as improving blood flow to the targeted region, it can relax or stimulate muscles and mitigate pain. The massage is normally conducted in the following areas: back, arms, lower extremities, stomach, chest and neck. Depending on which areas are targeted, this is either referred to as a ‘partial’ or ‘full body’ massage.

Therapeutic exercise is a crucial part of the recovery process and instrumental to any rehabilitation program. This therapy is led by an expert physiotherapist, normally for a group of guests with a similar diagnostic profile. An example of our classes includes therapeutic exercise for spine or joint conditions, osteoporosis, obesity, vascular conditions of the brain and exercise for cardiac patients. The therapy uses exercises designed to relax overloaded muscles, strengthen weak muscle groups, improve joint, spinal and pelvic mobilisation,and strengthen static/dynamic functions necessary for correct body positioning. An inseparable part of these classes are breathing exercises, in addition to training for speed, agility, endurance, balance, strength and overall fitness.

A qualified physiotherapist conducts all individual therapeutic exercise sessions as prescribed by a doctor. These classes are designed to maintain or restore physical mobility as well as develop functional capabilities. The therapy includes active and passive movements as well as mobilisation and manipulation. Other methods may include visualisation, active muscle contraction, active assisted movements and free active movement. An inseparable part of these classes are breathing exercises in addition to training for balance, strength and flexibility.

This pressure machine massages the upper or lower limbs or abdomen area, buttocks and thighs. Following the treatment for health reasons it is recommended to wear a compressive stocking or elastic bandage. The whole procedure lasts 40 – 60 minutes. This treatment, in addition for the treatment of oedemas and swellings has an anti-cellulite effect and boosts the metabolism.

This is a manual technique used for the treatment of joint ‘blockages’ that cause pain and restrict movement and may also cause reflex changes such as aches and spasms. In most cases, these are in the so-called ‘joint’ sections of the spine. The purpose of the treatment is the release of the segment and the restoration of a freely-moving joint. First of all, the problem area is overstressed, and then the ‘blockage’ is released through a small quick movement with mild force. This technique is continued using short repetitive movements, starting from a marginal to a neutral position, without impact but permanent overstress. This results in a mitigation of the ‘blockage’ or even in its direct elimination. This manipulation should be carried out by a specially-trained and licensed doctor. Mobilisation techniques, on the other hand, such as slower muscle pulling and release, stretching and others, are normally carried out by a qualified physiotherapist.

This is a specialised massage normally conducted by a physiotherapist which is intended to assist the lymphatic system, particularly in cases where there is or has been an irregularity. The massage involves light rhythmical movements of the hand, applied to the lymph nodes and the lymphatic system. It is this action that stimulates lymph node activity to cleanse the body and assist the flow of lymphatic fluid to remove toxins, debris, cell waste and dead particles. The massage is usually divided into the extremities of the body, with each extremity generally taking half an hour to massage.

This treatment serves to strengthen muscles of the pelvic bottom thereby improving the practice and activity of correct urination. Crucial to this is the patient’s well-being and concentration on specific muscle movements. The effectivity of this exercise can be checked by the patient themselves on a computer screen.

After the doctor’s examination and diagnosis, a specific area of the body is prescribed for massage. The aim is to stimulate blood circulation in this specific area, release muscle tension and improve the mobility of the connective tissue and joint.

After the doctor’s examination and diagnosis a peat pack can be prescribed for specific part(s) of the body. The peat pack treatment is best followed by a partial massage. Because the muscles are warm after the peat pack it means that they are well prepared for massage, therefore initial warm up techniques are not necessary and the time can be shorter than a normal classical medical massage. The aim is to stimulate the blood circulation in a specific area, release muscle tension and improve the mobility of the connective tissue and joint.

Phyaction is a treatment, where 4 rubber cups are used to create a small vacuum. These are placed onto the body. A gymnastic muscular effect is generated to stimulate the muscles and reduce pain. This micro-massage also improves circulation and the flow of oxygen to the tissue. The capillaries also respond to the pressure, in the area where the cups are applied, thus helping to improve the blood flow.

This uses a very specialised massage technique, targeting nerve connections and endings. The massage is carried out in one of four areas: the head and neck, the back, the chest or the pelvis. Using the thumb and forefinger, the masseur presses firmly along short or long, direct or curved lines. This massage action is very particular and not only promotes healing in the area being massaged, but through a ‘reflex’ effect it promotes healing in the entire body, which is why it is sometimes referred to as a ‘reflex’ massage. In addition, it has been found to be very effective in relieving stress, fatigue, sleep and digestive disorders and high blood pressure. The massage is a very sensitive body intervention that can have certain unexpected side effects, such as short breath, stomach pain, the lowering of blood pressure and sudden fatigue. As a result, prescription is given with care and under the guidance of a doctor.

This particular massage machine is purposely designed for strengthening and stretching connective tissue, skin and weak muscles. It also has an anti-cellulite effect and boosts the metabolism, helping to reduce body mass. The positive effects of the massage are enhanced by the application of an ivy gel.

Ultrasound uses sounds of high frequency and intensity that are converted to mechanical and heat energy. 30% of this mechanical energy results in a type of micro-massage in the tissues of the body that are targeted, resulting in heat generation. The treatment is administered by placing the head of the device in continuous or pulse application into the skin, which has been given a coating of paraffin oil or conductive gel. The depth of impact varies between 2-6 cm and the effect stimulates the molecules, causing subsequent chemical reactions. It also improves blood circulation as well as nutrition of the tissues with an analgesic and antispastic effect. The site of application needs to be prescribed by a doctor, but it is generally an area that is in pain or in need of relief.

Water rehabilitation, perhaps better known as ‘physiotherapy in water’ or ‘hydrokinesistherapy’ is conducted in water at a temperature of approximately 33 °C. In most of our spas the water used will be natural thermal water and the exercises lead by a qualified physiotherapist. Because of the buoyancy, resistance and chemical effects of the water, it is very effective for persons with degenerative diseases of weight-carrying joints in addition to post operative rehabilitation. Water rehabilitation is either conducted in groups with guests of a similar diagnostic profile or even individually.

Electrotherapy

List of Electrotherapy ( items)

This treatment uses a mixture of electric currents, (both galvanic and impulse), which have an inhibitory or facilitatory effect, depending on the frequency, intensity and other parameters. The result is both pain relief and an improvement in circulation. In general, the treatment is prescribed for conditions such as sprains, bruises, oedemas, joint and spine deterioration and disc degeneration.

This treatment is especially beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis. The forearms and lower limbs are placed into water trays at a temperature of 34°C. Water and a gentle electrical current are the components of this treatment, and an electric current is passed through these particular body parts. Because only the limbs of the body are immersed in water, the electric current in the four-cell bath can be given at a stronger intensity that the full galvanic bath (See: Galvanic Bath). The treatment also has the benefit of improving circulation.

In this treatment, different electrical pads at a medium frequency are placed onto the body together with a small vacuum. The effect is one of a micro-massage on the damaged tissue. Depending on the pre-set frequency, the muscles can be stimulated to a so-called muscle gymnastic condition, or alternatively produce relaxation in the muscle tone to have an analgesic effect. The treatment has two advantages: firstly, it reduces pain, and secondly, the micro-massage improves the circulation and flow of oxygen to the tissue, resulting in a healing effect.

This treatment is conducted while lying down on a bed or couch, while the treated body part is exposed to an artificial magnetic field (magnetic blanket, contact treatment head or magnetic cylinder). By creating a weak pulsating magnetic field around the body, it has the effect of recharging the magnetic stimulation of the cells. This results in normalising the metabolism and regeneration of cells, thereby supporting the healing process. The treatment also has contraindications, such as implanted cardio stimulators (pacemakers), fungal diseases, tumours and pregnancy.

The high frequency waves emitted by the device are converted into heat in the body. They warm the affected tissue, and improve circulation and blood flow to the tissue. The treatment reduces inflammation, increases hyperaemia, and has a regenerating effect, which beneficially relieves the uncomfortable symptoms associated with inflammation. In all cases, we offer this treatment to our guests according to doctor's prescription.

This innovative therapy using the Super Inductive System (SIS) is based on the intensive effects of the electromagnetic field, which has positive therapeutic effects on human tissues. Some of the main therapeutic effects are primarily pain relief, fracture healing, muscle relaxation, muscle stimulation, joint mobilisation, etc.Thanks to a wide range of stimulation frequencies, SIS can be indicated for its analgesic effects for all stages of pain.The principle of pain relief is based on three different neurophysiological types of pain relief, which differ in their range of stimulation frequencies.SIS therapy brings immediate pain relief for all stages of disorders, whether chronic or acute (up to 87% of patients described an improvement in their health).The application has an analgesic effect based on the endorphin theory of pain relief, and activates the endogenous opioid system.

Transcutaneous Electric Neuro Stimulation This uses the principle that pain and pain impulses in the body can be dispersed through stimulation of the nervous system with an electrical current. This electrical current is either applied in impulses in short bursts, in waves, or in a continuous stream. A pad is placed upon the site of the problematic area, and the current passes through the skin to the nerve. This treatment is especially effective for conditions that require pain relief, particularly on the back or neck. Specific examples include spinal diseases, headaches and post-traumatic pain.

Packs

List of Packs ( items)

Peat is used in Marienbad, and mud from the salt lake in Sovata for gynaecological treatments. The peat and mud act as a form of localised heat therapy, and are applied in the form of a tampon. Not only is the treatment effective for inflammatory conditions and rehabilitation after gynaecological operations, but is prescribed as a treatment for menstruation and menopause disorders. The salt mud from Sovata is renowned for successfully treating both primary and secondary infertility, especially hypoplasia uteri, as well as sterility caused by ovarian insufficiency and the occlusion of the oviduct.

Lavatherm is a heat treatment where a local warm appliance is applied onto a section of the body. The lavatherm pack is specially designed to retain heat and is warmed in water, the heat retained by a chemical reaction inside the cover. The pack is placed onto the indicated section of the body, helping to relieve pain and stimulate healing.

During this treatment the peat is applied to prescribed body parts. The body is wrapped up in a blanket and at the same time sinks into the membrane of a waterbed, which evokes a pleasant and warm feeling of weightlessness. The body is gradually heated up to the recommended temperature, which can be regulated. The peat wrap decreases local swellings around the joints and eases muscle tension. It reinforces anti-inflammatory and immunity processes in the body, improving the function of the cartilages, connective tissues and intervertebral disks. After the treatment it is recommended to have classical massage.

Paraffin packs take advantage of the heat conduction effectiveness of paraffin as it hardens at a temperature of approximately 55 °C. There are several different types of application methods, such as soaking a part of the body in paraffin, brushing paraffin onto parts of the body in layers or applying a thin sheet of paraffin onto the problematic area.The local application of the heat relaxes the muscles, causes spasm release, eases chronic pain and supports the healing and nutrition of the tissues. It also has sedative and immune biological features.The treatment in some of our spa locations is followed by dry wrap , immediately after the application of paraffin, which increases the effect and comfort of the whole treatment

Paraffin packs take advantage of the heat-conducting effectiveness of paraffin as it hardens at a temperature of approximately 55°C. There are several different types of application methods such as a special parafin box and gloves or socks filled with a mixture of wellness parafin. Gloves or socks are put in the parafin box ,they are heated to the optimal temperature and than applied on the hands or feet. Gloves and socks are disposable. The local application of heat relaxes the muscles, causing spasm release, easing chronic pain and supporting the healing and nutrition of the tissues.

In our locations where there no natural thermal mud exists, such as in Marienbad, peat is used as an alternative. The procedure is similar to the mud pack (See: Mud Pack), in that the peat is applied to the body at a temperature of between 40-45°C and wrapped either partially or completely onto the body with blankets for a period of 20 minutes. The peat is then hosed off and the treatment may then be completed with a dry wrap (See Other: Dry Wrap). The heat from the peat improves the blood circulation rate and local metabolism, softening the muscles/connective tissues and having an anti-inflammatory effect.

Inhalation

List of Inhalation ( items)

Inhalation with medicine has the same effect and uses the same principles as salt inhalation or thermal water inhalation (See: Salt Inhalation), but has a stronger effect. A combination of water, sometimes mineral water and medicine, are inhaled through a tube. During this inhalation process, the medicine is inhaled directly into the respiratory system and lungs, where it helps to dissolve mucous and has a cleansing reaction. It is effective in the treatment of chronic respiratory conditions, allergies or the after-effects of a cold or respiratory infection.

During the treatment, mineral water or medicine is inhaled from a spring directly from Maria’s fountain. This helps to dissolve phlegm and to clean the respiratory tract.

The salt cave is a room constructed from real salt, and depending on the location this salt can be imported from several different sources. The room is designed to be relaxing and atmospheric. During the treatment, you lie comfortably in a chair relaxing whilst breathing in the special salty air. In the process, tiny salt particles are inhaled into the respiratory system and lungs. Since salt has an anti-bacterial effect, the salt particles help dissolve mucous and have a cleansing reaction in the respiratory system. It is effective for the treatment of chronic respiratory conditions, or the after-effects of a cold or respiratory infection. Because the body is in a totally relaxed position, the inhalation process is more effective, and it combines improved respiratory function with stress reduction. In some locations this treatment is followed by a thermal bath (See Balneotherapy: Thermal Bath).

Complementary treatments

Acupuncture is a Chinese therapy that has been used for centuries. It is based on the theory that there is energy called either Chi or Qi flowing through one's body. Chi is thought to flow along energy pathways called meridians. Acupuncturists believe that a blocking or imbalance of the flow of Chi at any point on a pathway may result in illness. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe acupuncture unblocks and rebalances the flow of Chi to restore health. People often use acupuncture to ease pain, which is done by putting very thin needles into the skin at certain points in the body. Acupuncture is particularly effective for headaches, joint pain and allergies such as asthma.

Gerovital is an regenerative treatment administered by a series of injections. The treatment claims to slow down the ageing processes, boost revitalization and improve concentration and memory. Counterindication: over sensitivity to procaine.

Phototherapy

List of Phototherapy ( items)

The Bioptron lamp is a form of curative bio-stimulating light using polarized light generated with a halogen lamp. Light polarization assists with the stimulation of living tissue and supports cell development when there is contact between the light and the tissue. The light is applied locally, after the skin surface has been fully cleaned and degreased, and has the effect of slowing down degenerative cell processes and accelerating the healing of wounds, skin grafts and scars. Since the treatment targets local circulation, it can also be used for relieving inflammation in the ears, nose and other cavities, as well as relieving pain.

This progressive phototherapy method utilizes the efficiency of polarized light. The light source used is a intensely bright LED with a red monochromatic light and a special polarizing film. This enables more than double the depth of penetration into the soft tissue.

Laser therapy is a therapy that uses coherent, monochromatic light that is part of the segment of visible light. This light is applied locally to the body either continuously or in impulses, based on a doctor’s prescription. It is either carried out on specific points, or larger areas using a laser scanner. It has a special bio-stimulating effect, mainly due to the fact that it stimulates collagen, speeds up the regeneration of blood vessels and lymphatic routes and improves the utilization of oxygen resulting in a positive effect on the healing process.

Using the same rays that are contained in sunlight, the body is exposed either partially or fully. U.V. rays can be used for different medical effects. Applied with care, U.V. light can improve the body’s immune system, muscle performance and the formation of red blood cells. U.V. light is also used in the treatment of many skin disorders, such as psoriasis and eczema, particularly in our health spa in Smrdáky, Slovakia, which specializes in treating conditions of this type.

The de-stress massage chair is designed for those who are constantly exposed to stress, to provide a rapid relaxation muscle effect during the day, particularly in between work activities.

In this treatment we use honey combined with a special pumping massage movement that causes a vacuum effect. This helps the absorption of the minerals from the honey deep into the skin layer. Not only does this help to activate the inner organs, but at the same time it removes toxins from the body.This treatment is recommended for spine problems, neck, shoulder, backache, rheumatism and joint inflammation. In addition it helps relieve any tightness and improves the elasticity of the skin.

This treatment begins with a relaxing aroma massage (See: Relaxing Aromatic Massage). This is a slow massage technique that uses steady stroking movements of the hand with relaxing aroma oils. It is then followed by a hot towel back massage (See: Hot Towel Back Massage) for 20 minutes, using two rolled up towels soaked in hot water. The massage targets the back muscles, using the heat from the towels in a special rolling action. The masseur firmly rolls the towels across the neck, shoulders and down the back to the sacrum in one continuous action. It finishes with a short relaxation back massage. The combination of both treatments helps improve muscle flexibility, blood circulation, built-up emotional stress in the back, and releases tension and pain.

Hot stone therapy is a variation on classic massage therapy. Massage oil is first applied to the body, which allows the stones to glide smoothly along the muscles. The stones used are normally lava or basalt, a type of rock rich in iron that retains heat. These stones are heated to a suitable temperature and used to massage the back. After the massage with the stones is completed, the treatment continues with a normal massage using Swedish techniques. When this is completed, the hot stones may then be placed on key points on the body and left for a short period of time. Depending on the length on the massage, this can then be repeated on the front section of the body. The massage is effective for back pain, poor circulation, stress relief and tension.

The dry water massage “Hydrojet” is a mechanical massage on the bed called the Wellsystem Medical. Lying on the bed a high powered jet moves, under a canvas sheet up and down the body giving an intense massage. This improves the overall circulation and reduces muscle tension.

It increases endorphins, improves mental well-being and helps to increase joint mobility and flexibility. Because the massage is conducted on a dry bed, it is not necessary to get undressed.

The massage helps relieve joint and muscle pain and enables the absorption of beneficial substances from peat. It has also a cosmetic effect on the skin.

This is a body shaping massage in which the fat cells in the connective tissue under the skin are broken down by a special powerful massage technique using ivy essences. Because this is a very intensive massage, minor bleeding can occur under the skin’s surface as a side effect. For this reason sufficient fluid intake is recommended after the massage to help flush out the toxins from the body which are released during the treatment. Due to the intensity of this treatment it is not recommended for the over 60’s and guests with varicose vein problems. The combination of the powerful massage technique and Ivy Essence reduce the appearance of cellulite, in addition to hydrating and strengthening the skin.

Shiatsu is an old, traditional Japanese healing method which is carried out on the floor in loose clothing. (Shiatsu in Japanese means ‘finger pressure’). Unlike the massages of the West that focus on kneading and friction, pressure and stretching are the techniques used in Shiatsu. The masseur uses palms, fingers, thumbs, knuckles, elbows, knees and feet on the body’s acupuncture points along what are considered the body’s meridians or energy channels. In Shiatsu, it is believed that disease is a result of blocked or unbalanced energy in these channels, and the pressure applied in the massage helps to release it. Shiatsu massages are effective in treating many conditions, particularly respiratory and digestive problems, as well as headaches.

This ancient massage actually has its origins in India. The founder of this art was an Indian Doctor, Jivaka Kumar Bhaka, who was a contemporary of Buddha. The massage is conducted in light clothing, on a special mattress lying on the floor. It is a full body massage, during which the masseur uses steady and precisely-directed pressing actions on the pressure points of the body, combined with passive stretching movements. Massaging these pressure points removes energy blockages and removes pain in the joints, spine and muscles. The massage also helps strengthen the nervous system, increases mobility/ flexibility, and improves blood and lymph circulation.

This special massage uses stroking techniques, applied in a special technique to the skin using a brush of half bristles. This action helps increase blood circulation in the skin and removes dead cells from the upper skin layer. This leaves the skin surface smooth and receptive for other treatments. It is therefore often used as a preparation treatment for some packs (See Further relaxation treatments: Aphrodite Pack). Owing also to its effect as a metabolism stimulator, it can be used as part of a detoxification or anti-cellulite treatment.

This unique treatment is carried out utilising the positive effects of suction through a specially-designed rubber cup. The cup is gently pressed down onto the skin, and when slightly released produces a naturally-pressurised vacuum effect. The skin is then lubricated with oil through soft massage techniques. The cup is pressed down onto the skin and directed in circular movements across the hip, waist, back and shoulders. As well as relaxing the body, this treatment is especially effective for stimulating blood circulation.

Nordic walking is derived from cross-country skiing and its principle is based on using two specially designed poles whilst walking. This means that during the workout the upper body is utilized, resulting in a more intensive cardio workout compared to normal walking. However because of the support from the walking sticks, you do not feel you are working out at such a high intensity, meaning a lower ‘perceived rate of exertion’. In addition, the exercise works the arms, shoulders, upper chest and back muscles through a full range of movement, lengthening muscles that are often tight. The poles are also good support and they provide stability if you have balance, knee or leg problems. https://www.premierfitness.hu/en

Joseph Pilates developed his concept in England whilst interred during the First World War, basing his principles on yoga and Tai Chi (See: Yoga, Tai Chi). Whilst working in a hospital he began devising equipment to rehabilitate his patients, taking springs from beds and rigging them to create resistance. Pilates is mainly taught on a mat, sometimes using specialist equipment that has changed little from the original hospital bedsprings. Practiced faithfully Pilates yields numerous benefits, including increased lung capacity, strength, flexibility, posture and balance. The balance and control taught in Pilates helps in all areas of ones life. His methods are so successful that all types of people now use them from ballet dancers to rugby players.https://www.premierfitness.hu/en

Tai Chi, as it is practiced in the West today, is a combination of a moving form of yoga and meditation. In Tai Chi there are a number of so-called ‘forms’, (also called ‘sets’) which consist of a number of movements. Many of these movements were originally derived from martial arts and from the natural movements of animals and birds. Thesemovements are performed slowly and gracefully, with smooth, even, transitions between them. In Chinese philosophy and medicine there exists the concept of ‘chi’, a vital force that animates the body. The aim of Tai Chi is to foster the circulation of this ‘chi’ within the body to enhance health and vitality.

Beauty Icoone

List of Beauty Icoone ( items)

The Icoone treatment generates an increase in micro-circulatory blood-flow and lymphatic flow. The results are visible from the first session - tissular fibrosis is reduced, lipolysis and collagen production are stimulated. The skin rapidly regenerates, feeling tighter and more toned with a unique sense of well-being. Icoone helps remodel the facial contours, reduces fine lines and wrinkles even in the most delicate areas. Icoone allows the body shape to be redesigned, thanks to the “focus“ treatment, where areas with excess fat are specifically stimulated to obtain amazing results even in the most challenging cases.

T-Shape combines three different technologies

Laser LLLT- Multi-polar radiofrequency - Vacuum Massage

The combination of this Multi-polar Radiofrequency and LLLT Laser creates an intense heat wave in the connective tissue, including the fibrous septum. This promotes cellular metabolism and also increases the level of collagen deposites resulting in a reduction of skin laxity. The vacuum suction generates an immediate improvement in blood circulation and lymph drainage, both essential for general health.

LLLT Laser 650 nm

As the laser gradually warms the fatty tissue, it helps to form temporary pores in the adipocytes and to accelerate fragmentation of the triglycerides in glycerols and fatty acids that may leave the cell. The lipids, in turn, are eliminated through the normal metabolic routes. It is efficient in reducing the size of the circumference of the entire body, in specific areas treated and it has proved to reduce edemas.

Multi-polar frequency at 2Mhz

With contact from the RF (radiofrequency) energy heat is generated. The dermis, which is rich with collagen, when heated to a temperature exceeding 60°C, is immediately denaturated, the fibrils contract and become thicker. Following the initial heat, a subsequent formation of new collagen is created, leaving the skin much firmer, compact and with a youthful appearance.

Vacuum Treatment

Through various dynamic impulses the vacuum lifts, folds and compresses the skin in order to increase local blood circulation and stimulate lymphaptic drainage. It simplifies the activity of fibroblasts and promotes vasodilatation.

A overall treatment takes 50+10´minutes and is composed of a “Base” program– focusing on general skin problems (e.g. cellulite, oedema...) and then continues with “focus” program which acts on a specific problematic areas (e.g. loose skin on the inside thigh/arm area, love handles etc..). This treatment cycle usually consists of 10 to 15 sessions which can be performed over several weeks, or as in the case of a Spa week, in more concentrated sessions where daily treatments can be given during the stay. The results are clearly noticeable, right from the first session.
